Oradour sur Glane

No one can prepare you for the effect this village and museum will have on you. The old village is left just as it was after the Waffen SS arrived in 1944 and murdered almost all of the 600+ inhabitants and set fire to all the buildings. It's about an hour away and well worth the visit.
